As far as I'm aware, Bootle are getting Trident/Enviro400 deckers from the wirral come January.
Remember, LS are due their hybrids soon.

Good riddance to the DLAs I say!

I also heard about this a few days ago, although I wasn't too sure about if it was true or not because of the many rumours regarding those Birkenhead Enviro400s! Apparently, it's their poor fuel-consumption and dreadful reliability that's determined Bootle to try to send them away...

Enviro400 MX09 LXS (4434) is even on the 58! I give 100% credit to Bootle today for sending double-deckers out because there are normally several in the depot doing absolutely nothing on Saturdays!
